Don't move nice birdy...

There! Do you see that? You can see straight through his nostril thingy. Is that cool or what? I wonder what purpose that kind of nostril thing serves. I can't believe that bird stood still long enough for me to take a picture of his nostril thingy. Yay!

Hello Joey! I don't know why I'm so fascinated with his nostril. His eyes are almost the same color as the feathers on his face, but wow, check out that beak, you can see all the way through it's nostril when it turns sideways. I'm a Florida girl, I'm supposed to know what kind of bird this is but I forgot. Ah well.

That's funny Trée. I hope you are having a good afternoon. I was just thinking of you.

I think we should call the big bird "Abe" now. ;-) I wonder if his nose whistles when the wind blows? It would be funny if that was how the male gets his mate. And if different nostril sizes and shapes had greater or less attraction to the females.

Ha, that would be so funny if that was the reason these birds walk sooo slowly and deliberately...if they were really chatting down a female saying, "Hey baby, look at my nostril, go ahead, it's so big I bet you can see that entire woman with the camera right through it, go ahead, look through my big sexy nostril, you know you want to!"

Deb, I'm glad you enjoyed him. I should be posting some old fractal pictures for some variety but it kind of bums me out that I can't figure out how to make them right now. In time, I hope. I am enjoying the camera though. I will enjoy them more if I can learn how to operate the camera better.
